Travis-ty

Former Calvin Klien underwear model turned actor Travis Fimmel has joined the cast of "The Experiment", the US remake of Oliver Hirschbiegel's 2001 German thriller "Das Experiment" says The Hollywood Reporter.

Fimmel will play a prison guard, taking over a role that had reportedly gone to Elijah Wood.

Taken actress Maggie Grace has also been cast, playing opposite the film's lead Adrien Brody.

Forest Whitaker, Clifton Collins Jr., and Cam Gigandet co-star.

The script revolves around several dozen men who, as part of a scientific experiment, are chosen to simulate the roles of prisoners and guards, prompting unforseen consequences.

The story is based on a real life incident at Stanford University in 1971 in which an experiment that sought to find out how ordinary people would react in a prison situation spun out of control.

"Prison Break" mastermind Paul Scheuring makes his directorial debut on the pic due for release next year.

Wow! How bad must Elijah Wood feel right now? Knowing that he's been replaced by a former undies pretty boy who's probably has his biggest film role to date in this flick...Ouch!
